Artist Guitars

3-Year Manufacturer's Warranty
 

All items we sell come with a 3-year warranty. 

Warranty is only valid to the original purchaser and is only available in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the USA. 

In most cases, the issue can be fixed by replacing a part. 

If so, we will send the part for free to you. If more extensive work is required we will organise for the item to be sent back to us at no cost to you.  

In some cases, we will just send you a replacement.

If your product is less than 100 days old, see our 100 Days Free Returns Policy.

If over 100 days old, read on.

1. If a return is required there will be no cost to the customer. Artist Guitars will cover the cost of returns.

A product or good has a major problem when:

• it has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about it
  
  
• it is unsafe
  
  
• it is significantly different from the sample or description
  
  
• it doesn’t do what the business said it would, or what you asked for and can’t easily be fixed.

What we don't cover:

1. Consumable products, including strings, drum sticks, batteries and valves (valves have a 90 days burnout warranty).
   
   
2. Misuse, damage, neglect, or broken hardware caused by dropping/damaging the item.
   
   
3. Any unauthorised modifications or repairs.
   
   
4. General wear and tear – (scratches, fret wear, dirty fretboards, Nut wear).

6. Labour for repairs (If the item is returned to us there is no labour charge).
   
   
7. Guitar set-up or adjustments - although we do offer lots of support here on our website.
   
   
8. Imperfections in an instrument - lots of our instruments are made of wood and each has minor differences. Our QC process is very strict but it's still not possible to make instruments that are identical and flawless. However, if you do receive any item from us and feel unsatisfied in any way you are welcome to return it for replacement or exchange under our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
   
   
9. The product specifically described as "damaged" or "faulty" is sold as is and not covered under this warranty.
   
   

If your item is faulty please email or phone us with a description of the fault and we will either repair or replace it.
